About Sylvester

Meet Sylvester! This shy, handsome gentleman has been through a lot; he lost both his home and the tips of his ears in a house fire before finding his way to Dedham. Sylvester has previously lived with other cats, so having a feline companion might help him adjust in his new home. After using at least one of his nine lives, he’s now ready to spend the rest in a loving forever home. Sylvester is up to date on all vaccinations, has been neutered, microchipped, and seen by our vet team. He’s looking for a family that understands gentle souls who may need a little time to blossom.
